Proverbs of Solomon Leabhar na SEANRAITE The Book of Proverbs An Irish and English Parallel Bible In 1634 William Bedell (born 1570, formerly Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and Provost [senior administrative officer] of Trinity College, was consecrated Bishop of Kilmore and Ardagh, in Ireland) proposed the translation of the Old Testament into Irish, to complement William O’Donnell’s 1602 translation of the New Testament. He hired Murtagh King and an assistant, James O’Neil, to undertake the translation, which would be based on the King James Bible of 1611. Bedell’s translation efforts were hindered and resisted by many in the English Church and Government. Both Bedell’s assistant King and Bedell himself experienced great hardship. Even though the translation was completed about 1640, the turmoils of the Irish rising of 1641 hindered it from being printed. Bedell, then seventy years old, was imprisoned and his health was broken. He died a few weeks afterwards, 7th February, 1642. He was profoundly respected by the Roman Catholics as a saintly man, and with the consent of the rebels he was buried beside his wife. Nearly half a century elapsed before the publication actually became possible when the manuscript of the translation was rescued and given to Narcissus Marsh (1638–1713), provost of Trinity College Dublin. With the aid of two other scholars, Andrew Sall and Paul Higgins, and of the scientist Robert Boyle, Marsh carefully revised the translation work and organized the hand written pages for publication. Boyle got it through the laborious printing process in London and a large edition of 500 copies was finally published in 1685. The English translation used in this booklet is the King James Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible, commissioned by King James I of England in 1604. The translation work was completed by forty-seven learned Biblical scholars in 1611 and published that same year. It has had the most profound impact not only on English literature as a whole, world-wide, but also on English-speaking peoples, world-wide! This same version is often referred to as the Authorised Version (AV). Despite its age, it is still very readable by the average reader today, and it remains one of the most widely-read literary works of all time.

  • SUPPLEMENT to the CORRESPONDENCE of ROBERT BOYLE Updated 2017
    SUPPLEMENT TO THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ROBERT BOYLE Updated 2017 Note: This section comprises the texts in chronological order of all letters to or from Boyle that have come to light since The Correspondence of Robert Boyle was published in 2001, together with information about lost letters that was not included in the edition. The most significant source of extant letters is the Dopping Collection at Armagh, which was unfortunately overlooked during the preliminary search for materials for this edition. These letters form part of a three-volume collection of Anthony Dopping’s papers which in the eighteenth century came into the possession of the collector, Michael Ignatius Duggan. From him they passed to Dr John Lodge, remaining in the Lodge family until they were purchased for the Public Library in Armagh in 1865. They are published here by kind permission of the Governors and Guardians of Armagh Public Library. A further ‘new’ letter, from Boyle to Samuel Clarke, which is now in the collection of the Royal Irish Academy, has clearly come from an autograph collection, probably of nineteenth-century date: it seems likely that further scattered items that have survived as part of autograph collections will come to light in due course. Three further letters have been added to the version updated in 2017, one a Boyle- Hartlib letter that survives only through a copy in a notebook of James Tyrrell now in the Wellcome Library, the others letters from Boyle to Thomas Hyde that survive in an 18th-century edition of Hyde’s writings and which were kindly drawn to our attention by Will Poole.

  • Narcissus Marsh
    NARCISSUS MARSH (Sermon preached in the Chapel of Trinity College, Dublin, by the Rev. N. J. D. White, D.D., on Trinity Monday, 1920) If it were necessary to prefix a text to a memorial discourse, this sermon on Narcissus Marsh might very suitably begin with the closing words of the Book of Nehemiah, Remember me, O my God, for good. This constant refrain in Nehemiah’s memoir, and prayers similarly expressed, recur again and again in Marsh’s Diary. It is tempting to recall here that Jewish tradition (2 Macc. ii. 13) spoke of Nehemiah “founding a library”; but apart from this trifling parallel, there was in fact a close affinity in character between the restorer of the Jewish state and this Irish prelate of the early eighteenth century. They differed only in the circumstances in which they found themselves. Nehemiah and Marsh were both specimens of the best type of ordinary man, the men by whose consistent honesty of purpose and conscientious work “the fabric of the world is maintained. Neither Nehemiah nor Marsh was a spiritual genius; while both were men of sincere practical piety. They both had a single eye to the general good, and were inspired by that particular form of public spirit which loves to express itself in something visible and tangible, bricks and mortar for choice. Both exhibit a naïve appreciation of their own good deeds, which just escapes condemnation as smug self-complacency because the men whose foible it was were in truth most worthy of respect and admiration. There is, for example, a rue Nehemiah ring in these words penned by Marsh on his 52nd birthday: “I thank my God that my conscience doth not reproach me for any negligence either in my study or calling; but I do find a great deal of comfort in what I have done.” Marsh was not an alumnus of this College; yet it is fitting that we commemorate him at one of our Trinity feasts; for although he was imported here from Oxford, an utter stranger, he made this country his home.

  • The Bible in Maynooth
    IJll!!I. , ..... - 111!11111. 11111!1, .,.,!!Ill, I .f I III THE BIBLE IN MAYNOOTH Valerie Seymour Introduction he story of the Bible in Maynooth mirrors the separate yet Tparallel development of the translation, publishing and dis­ semination of the Scriptures by the two main Christian denomi­ nations in the post-Reformation period. Before the middle of the fifteenth century manuscript bibles were for the exclusive use of the clergy and nobility. The Latin Vulgate version reigned supreme, well under Church control. Some hundred editions of the Vulgate were printed by the end of the fifteenth century.1 Many vernacular versions emerged in Europe from the mid-1450s onward. There were over 75 versions of Scripture in German, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish before 1540. In the same peri­ od some 50 English versions were printed.2 The emergence of these vernacular versions in European languages represents anoth­ er strand in bible production. For a short period there were many versions of the Vulgate and increasing numbers in the vernacular . being produced simultaneously. The bible collections in Maynooth, some 2,500 volumes, reflect these two groups, with an overlap up to the early sixteenth century. The college collections were built up from the beginning of the nineteenth century by donation, bequest and judicious purchase. Left p. 65: Manuscript and incunable bibles are outnumbered by early print­ Erasmus's Greek ing in Greek and Latin from the well-known sixteenth-century New Testament, the earliest published scholar-printers. Polyglots such as Rutter's, printed in Nuremberg edition, printed at in 1599, Commelin's edition, printed in Heidelberg in 1586, and Basle by Froben in a late six-volume printing in 1854 at Bielefeld join the master­ 1516.
